Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of low sperm count (oligozoospermia) & azoospermia (absence of sperms) in seminal plasma infertile male & to assess the pattern & distribution of abnormal sperm parameters in infertile men. Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at the Department of Pathology R.D.Gardi Medical College, Ujjain from August 2016 to August 2017. A total of 100 consecutively consenting male partners of women fulfilling the inclusion criteria between 20 and 45 years of age were approached. Semen analysis was performed according to methods and standards defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Samples were categorised into normozoospermia, oligozoospermia and azoospermia on the basis of sperm count. Results: Out of the 120 males approached, 20 (20) had to be left out either because of their unwillingness or inability to pass semen. The study sample comprised of 100 response rate (83.33%) normozoospermia was observed in 47 (47%) males, azoospermia in 9 (9%), and oligozoospermia in 44(44%) The oligozoospermic samples had low ejaculated volume, but significantly higher percentage of non-motile sperms 62% ( normal 33%) and abnormal morphology 43% (Normal 31%) in comparison to normozoospermic samples. Conclusion: Semen analysis is the basic diagnostic test that should be performed on all couples or singles that are suffering from infertility and or are concerned about having infertility. The purpose of the test is to detect possible abnormalities and/or “weaknesses “within the sperm. Sperm concentration, motility and morphology are related to each other, factors that cause deterioration of one of them usually also have negative impact on the other two as well.
